Why the world needs you
Come on, we all love travel right? Relaxing in the sun, going on a hike, visiting restaurants in foreign countries. However, did you know that
… > 11 % of global CO2 emissions are derived from the travel industry?
… > 1/4 of people are excluded from traveling because they have a disability and the travel industry does not account for it?
… Â over 550,000 wild animals suffer in tourist attractions every year?
… that 3.5 kg / 7.7 lb of plastic waste are produced per guest per day on the Maledives?
… > 66 % of women and > 50 % of men working in the industry report mistreatment and that child labour and sexual abuse is common?
Mass tourism is clearly destroying our environment and burning employees in the industry. Knowing that every single year, over 1.5 billion tourist arrivals span the globe creating an economy that creates revenues of trillions of dollars and employs every 10th person globally, it becomes obvious that changing the travel industry will have a huge impact.Â
Within our Ambassador program, we show you how to continue traveling without a pang of conscious! Read more about our impact and see how sustainable travel is connected to the Sustainable Development Goals.Â
